Teen Cooking Classes!

Eat! Looking for a relaxing Friday afternoon culinary experience with kitchen skills to wow friends and family? ​Learn basic kitchen survival skills and what to make when there’s nothing in the house to eat. All meals vegetarian and prepared with kosher ingredients where possible.

Fun: Each day will find us on a different culinary adventure with cuisines from around the globe.

Healthy: We'll make a hearty snack and talk about different ingredients, flavors and preparations. Dishes and garnishes are based on the philosophy that whole-food plant-based dishes can be tasty and fun to make. We'll talk about meatless nutrition basics, and how to look at texture, temperature and toothsomeness from a vegetable-centric viewpoint. We'll also discover seasoning tricks to balance bitter, salty, sweet and spicy flavorings.

Class 4 - Introduction to roasting. We prepare a sauce while we roast potatoes and a cruciferious vegetable or two (like broccoli, cauliflower, kale, kohlrabi, brussels sprouts). Reference: The Vegetarian Kitchen by Peter Berley.

Class 5 - Introduction to flatbreads - We prepare quick Indian flatbreads and eat them with spicy and mild sauces. Reference: Vegan Richa's Indian Kitchen by Richa Hingle.

Class 6 - Using a griddle for savory pancakes. We prepare a vegetarian version of Japanese okonomiyaki (check it out on you tube - it's the ultimate diner food!) Plus sauces to go with. Reference: Japanese Cooking by Miyoko Schinner
